General Information

Biological Significance

Human RELM-beta is a 19.0 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric protein expressed in the epithelium of the colon and small bowel. The biological functions of RELM-beta and its molecular targets, are not fully known but, it has been suggested that it plays a regulatory role during inflammation and may also act to establish links among adipose tissue, the intestine and the liver. Interestingly the molecular structure of RELM-beta is highly homologous to that of the adipose-derived cytokine Resistin and RELM-a.
